The Wizards have been pretty bad on the second game of a back-to-back set being only 4-11, but the Hawks will be in town once again after losing to the Wizards in both meetings by 1 on the final plays. They'll be without Joe Johnson, Speedy Claxton and Marvin Williams, so they're going to need to have their bench players to step up and make perimeter shots if they want to beat the Wizards. Eddie Jordan will continue to use his bench and prepare them for the playoffs, and the bench has really been contributing lately. AD comes off a 18 point, 7-9 performance last night, Booth has been blocking shots and rebounding, Blatche has been an all-around player for us, and hopefully we'll keep this up and get a 3 game winning streak.
Another loss to another depleted team. The Wizards need to go back to playing that princeton offense that got them dishing out 29 assists in that 20 point win against the Hawks, the offense was just sloppy in the 3rd as players went with iso's, lack of ball movement, and effort. Eddie Jordan's got a good idea to go with an 11-12 man rotation, but he's gotta do a better job putting the right guys in at the right time. We're gonna have another back-to-back set this weekend with the Knicks and a crucial game with Miami and losing those 2 games will blow the lead right open for the Heat to take.
